The Cassell Dictionary of Anecdotes by Nigel Rees
A collection of over 1000 stories under 400 keyword headings that embrace themes as diverse as absent-mindedness, heckling, resignations and windbags. The anecdotes feature a host of famous names from all walks of life and from all periods of history - monarchs and mistresses, peers and presidents, composers and comedians - each of them presented in a light that is not always flattering but in some way revelatory.
Nigel Rees is the author of over 50 books and a writer and broadcaster whose interest in words and phrases is well known from his programme Quote...Unquote on the BBC Radio and his appearances in dictionary corner' on Channel 4's Countdown. He lives in West London.
